Some of those are quite true.
Is it really a regional thing to eat cold pizza for breakfast? I love doing that.

Anyway, I have a list very similar to this one, but about Texas, because that’s where I’m at. We have one that says “Almost summer, summer, still summer, deer season”. I got quite a giggle out of your’s…
